Tour of the Whisky Islands

Visit Scotland’s famous whisky islands – Islay, Jura and Skye by boat. Famed more than all the others for its whisky production is Islay. At around 25 miles long, and 20 miles at its widest, this little island packs a punch on the world whisky stage with their iconic brands. It’s a whisky lover’s delight with distilleries around every corner. Jura is a sparsely-populated mountainous island that is home to one distillery and more deer than people. Author George Orwell wrote is famous dystopian novel 1984 here while suffering terribly from tuberculosis. The island distillery launched a 1984 inspired Jura malt. Skye’s iconic Talisker whisky is made by the sea and it seems obvious with its distinctive maritime flavours of salt and smoke.

Journey to the Outer Hebrides & St Kilda

Go a little further and see the rarely visited St Kilda, an uninhabited archipelago (abandoned in 1930) located 50 miles west of the Outer Hebrides. It is also one of the few destinations in the world to hold a double UNESCO World Heritage Status – that puts it on a level with Machu Picchu and the Pyramids of Egypt! Since few travel here this is a true adventure experience for those that want to get off the beaten path during their stay.
